Three superb lakes in beautiful surroundings and each lake unique, offering something for every angler.
The two “newest” lakes – Withy and Bridge Pools – were established with the help of a substantial Lottery Grant and, thanks to the magnificent efforts of a hard-core of club members – they both have a natural appearance and have a reputation for some of the best fishing in the area. Over 2000 trees were planted on the slopes overlooking the lakes adding to the overall effect.
The car park adjoins the lakes and there is easy access to all 115 well spaced and comfortable swims on the fishery.
Main Lake
Hunstrete Lake, at almost 5 acres, has always been recognised for it’s high quality sport with the emphasis mainly on large carp. This is the lake where the current club record carp is held. Many anglers have achieved their personal best carp here with the largest carp to over 40lbs.
The lake contains some good but elusive tench from 4 to 6lb fish and larger
There are Bream to over 8lbs and roach to 1¾lbs also feature; as well as pike to 22lbs.
